Landing in a new exec's first 90 days

They owe the board a plan they did not inherit, by day 90. Their own org will hand them a first draft around day 60. A page from outside lands in week two.

The play in three steps

1Trigger

A COO, CFO or GM joins a target account in the last 60 days, or the seat is posted and still open.

2What it means

They owe the board a plan they did not inherit, by day 90. Their own org will hand them a first draft around day 60. A page from outside lands in week two.

3Move to make

Write in week two, with a read on the priority they already announced. One page on that priority, not a capabilities deck: they have ten of those in the inbox already.

Who it targets

Ideal customer
Target accounts in your sectors and revenue range that just changed a COO, CFO or GM.
Decision maker
The new exec, in person. Never their chief of staff, never the CEO who hired them.
Where the signal is read
LinkedIn job changes on your target list, weekly, plus open C-level postings on the same accounts.
Window
Days 10 to 30 in the seat. Before that they are listening, after that the plan is written.

First email

Subject your first 90 days at {companyName}

{firstName}, two weeks in as {newTitle} at {companyName}, and [the priority they announced] already on the record.

The board expects a plan by day 90. Nobody in the building has run one.

If I could send you one page on how [a client in the same seat] handled exactly that in their first quarter, no deck, no call attached, would you be interested in reading it ?

{yourFirstName}
{yourDomain}

PS: no reply is a fine reply, I will not write again before your day 90.
